On one occasion, the Executive Director traveled overseas using business class. The housing allowance is taxable. The discretionary spending account and travel were deemed nontaxable benefits. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The Finance committee of the Board of Trustees at their April meeting will review the 990 prior to the submission to the Board of Trustees. The form 990 will be distributed to the Board at their May 2011 meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Assistant Executive Director sends out a conflict of interest policy questionnaire which is signed by each board member. The Board monitors compliance with the conflict of interest policy by requiring all trustees, officers and key employees to annually sign the conflict of interest policy and to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. UNIS has a traditional conflict of interest policy which will be updated to include relevant definitions in the new form 990. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Compensation for the executive director is determined by the UNIS board of directors on the recommendation of the compensation committee. No individuals with a conflict of interest may be involved in the compensation determination process. Comparable data for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations is prepared by the organization and reviewed by the board of directors, including information prepared by an independent compensation consultant hired by UNIS. The minutes of the board of directors and the compensation committee document the board and committeee's deliberations and decisions regarding compensation. The school hired a consultant who reviewed compensation of other officers and key employees, benchmarked these employees compensation against similarly situated organizations and used 990's and other data to obtain meaningful data for comparison.
